Greinke made his way
back to the hill in Wednesday’s 3-1 win for Los Angeles as 142 home ‘chalk’
against the Washington Nationals. The 10th-year veteran returned
after a month’s absence due to a collarbone injury, allowing five hits over 5
1/3 innings.

Los Angeles’ Adrian
Gonzalez notched a 2-for-3 night, driving in one run. Kemp and Ethier united to
hit 4-for-6, while closer Brandon League anchored five relievers for his ninth
save of the year.

Burgos outgunned in Pittsburgh

Burgos picked up a
second straight loss with Thursday’s 7-1 defeat for Milwaukee to the Pittsburgh
Pirates. The Puerto Rico native gave up three runs on eight hits, failing to
cash as a 132 road dog in a five-inning stint.

Brewers catcher Jonathan
Lucroy notched an RBI from the cleanup spot, uniting with shortstop Jan Segura
to bat 3-for-7. Milwaukee’s Alfredo Figaro surrendered Pittsburgh’s remaining
four runs in just 1/3 of a frame, while the Brewers were edged in hits, 13-6.

The MLB betting odds first opened
Greinke as a 128 road favorite, with the betting lines lifting to 139 after early
betting on the Dodgers. The ‘total’ was first set at eight, followed by a spike
upward to 8 ½ with initial wagers favoring the OVER.

I am adding a ticket on
the UNDER to Tuesday’s sports picks, looking for another close contest between
these foes.

Burgos should value
returning home after struggling in two straight road starts. The 25-year-old
has held visiting foes to a stingy .222 OBP over his pair of outings at Miller
Park.

Greinke has been solid
in his three starts of the year, giving up just one homer in 16 2/3 IP. The
UNDER has cashed at 3-0 in the trio of affairs, with lineups held to a 0.78
WHIP.

Monday’s opener brought
the UNDER to 8-1 in the last nine meetings in Milwaukee between these rivals,
while moving to 3-1-1 in Los Angeles’ last five road games against a
right-handed starter. The Dodgers have been held to a .230 BA facing
right-handed pitching away from home, while putting up 2.6 RPG over their last
seven contests.

Back the UNDER with your MLB picks, adding another cashed ticket to the wager’s 4-0 mark
in the Brewers’ last four spots against a starter with a WHIP below 1.15.
